May 2004 Meeting &

Plant of the Month Competition

HAWORTHIAS

At our May meeting we had an excellent talk on Haworthias, given by Dorothy
Minors (the person who sends us our seeds). The slides were very good as
were her plants and we all brought some new additions for our collections

The next day was our show and what a display of wonderful plants, the hall
was full of plants of many genus's and some very good show stoppers that I
had not seen before. In the open classes there were plants put in by Glasgow
branch - Thank you Glasgow.

The show was judged by Dorothy and what a hard
job it must have been. In the evening we had our annual dinner and a good time
was had by all.

We have no more meetings now till September so a good growing time for all.
A big thank you to John and Marie for all the hard work done at the show, also
to April who helped Marie with the catering
